Maldives had been on our to-do list forever! And the wait finally ended in Dec2018. Where to stay is the biggest call one would take when planning a trip to the Maldives, as the entire holiday is dependent on it. Lux was somewhat of an...More

Dreamy atolls of tropical islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a kaleidoscope of colours and earthly pleasures. Get away from it all at LUX* South Ari Atoll (formerly LUX* Maldives), the …Moreonly settlement on the postcard-perfect island of Dhidhoofinolhu. Fuss free and laid-back, the resort surprises with pop-up cinema screenings right on the beach, impromptu musical performances and strolls along secret pathways through the lush tropical gardens. Just steps from the thatch-roofed suites and ocean-perched villas, the island's unspoilt beaches are yours to claim. A prime spot for snorkelling and whale-shark spotting, the resort's unblemished lagoon is a diver's dreamworld. Back on land, island street food and fine dining await in the tempting restaurants and bars. In the shade of coconut palms, lounge by the two turquoise pools, luxuriate in the ocean-view spa and surrender to the charms of this castaway idyll. Less

Hi, we chose a newer villa, The Romantic Villa with pool on the terrace. I believe they have older villas on the other side of the island without terrace pool with sunset view. Don´t know what numbers have sunset view tho.
